Chapter 6

I quickly made it home from school in hopes that my mother was busy doing all day shopping so that I wouldn't have to bump into her cheating face. But unfortunately when I did get home, she came out the kitchen when I walked inside the front door. Dressed in an apron like she actually was busy baking. I had a feeling she was trying to bribe me.

"Kaya, welcome home." She smiled sweetly at me.

I had a really great day today and wasn't going to let her face ruin my mood. "I just came to get changed, I'm meeting with Micah later." I said and walked to the stairs passing her.

I heard her sigh. "Kaya, can we talk?" And this was the part where last night had to be brought up.

I didn't know what to say to her. On the one side I was happy it happened otherwise I would've never stormed off to the woods as I did and meet that hot alpha, and on the other side I'm pissed because she cheated on my dad and I felt bad for him, even though he was a total douchebag.

I halted by the stairs looked at her. "What is there to talk about, Mom? I know what I saw last night so god help me if you're going to tell me it's not what I think!"

My mother formed a pained expression and fidgeted with her fingers like a little girl. "Kaya I was hoping you would understand it the most."

"Understand what?!" I tossed my hands in the air raising my voice. "That all our family values mean nothing to you?"

"No!" She snapped. "I expected you to understand that Derrick is my mate!"

My eyes widened in shock. Did I just hear her correctly?! She called my principal her mate and not my dad! I mean she and my dad weren't mates, the word mate hasn't been uttered for the last fifty years and at this moment I was trying my best to process all of it.

This could mean that my mother found her perfect match and never loved my father all along. Having a mate was something many in our time dearly wanted and my mother was the first person I ever heard say that she found her mate. I didn't know whether I should feel happy for her or not. Because it proved that she and my dad weren't endgame and that nothing could change that.

It was still a lot to process and I just needed to get out of the house.

"Mom, just do whatever makes you happy!" I said and she couldn't believe what I just told her. "And come clean to dad by the way." I didn't care if hell broke loose in this family. I was leaving the town in anyway.

I rushed upstairs to my room to get a shower and then I played video games, texting Micah and agreeing to meet at Lakies around 18:00.

*

I took my own car to get to Lakies. I didn't think I would be able to walk with my sore ass for the rest of the day any longer and I definitely didn't need a reminder of what happened last night. Even now my body missed feeling the alpha's pheromones, a longing I tried to suppress. I hoped that overtime I would forget about it and that no one found him there. Alphas were still banished from our town. I wonder what was the real truth behind the story of them being banished. They all said the rut was dangerous and an alpha in rut could literal fuck someone to death and hear I am in the flesh. Still alive and very healthy and all I could think of was that alpha and wondering if I will see him again.

I arrived at Lakies right after sunset. Lakies was a small hangout spot/pub on the outskirts of town near Redmoon Lake. It was also a hangout spot for us high school students more specifically and a place where omegas and their beta boyfriends fuck.

I was lucky enough to find myself space in the parking and then I got out. I texted Micah that I was outside and she replied telling me she was waiting for me inside. I walked up the staircase to the entrance and then pushed the door open. I saw Micah at our usual spot but what really did irritate me was seeing that asshole Lannard there. Why was he here?!

I rolled my eyes and dragged my feet as I walked to them. He was probably trying to corner my bestie and flirting with her. I was not going to have that.

"Get lost, Lannard!"

"Look who just arrived!" Lannard laughed and looked up at me clapping his hands.

"Uhg!" I wanted to punch him really badly. What was it with these betas thinking they are so badass and hot when they are not?!

Lannard tried using his pheromones on me, but they bounced off my body and didn't even affect me, an omega.

"Think I'll get shy and sit in the corner, saying nothing while you disturb my friend?" I asked and folded my arms. This was so weird. My body was really changing and so was my very own omega self.

Mostly betas do a thing where they try to be alphas and control us with their pheromones, but his so weak compared to the alpha I had last night.

"Come on Micah, let's go sit elsewhere."

"Actually..." Lannard interjected. "Micah was the one who invited us, isn't that right Micah?" He looked at her. I also looked at Micah to confirm this and wanting to know why she would invite this asshole at our table. Please don't tell me she already fell for his trap. Micah has to be smarter than that!

"I..." she stuttered and sighed before looking at her hands. "Okay, yes I did! I needed company till you got here and he and I just talked."

"Well for someone who was just talking, you got pretty comfortable I must say!" I folded my arms. His friends were here too so it did look to me like they were getting comfortable.

I didn't want Micah to be left in this uncomfortable situation so I sat down next to her, shooting daggers with my eyes at Lannard.

"Thanks," Micah whispered in my ear and I smiled at her.

"Shall I get us some drinks?" Lannard asked us.

I wanted to say no but I did want a drink so I shrugged. "Fine just one drink."

He stood up and walked to the bar and then I turned to Micah. "Girl, you need to tell that guy straight to the face that you are not interested."

"I have many times, but you know how he is. He never gives up!" She whispered back. We kept our voices down so his three friends wouldn't hear us.

We both looked at Lannard when he came back and placed a tray full of drinks and handed the two of us one glass each first before his friends took their own.

I lifted my glass and took a sip. Uhg I hated brandy, but this could suffice. Why did he even bring us these? It's not like were all rich old men here complaining about our wives.

I turned my head to look at Micah and she wasn't even touching her glass. None of them were and that's until I finally felt a little dizzy, sick actually.

I held my head and Micah came closer. "Kaya are you okay?"

"I'm fine..." I said before looking at the glass and then at Lannard. "What the hell did you put in my drink?!"

Lannard smiled heavily. I tried to get up but a hand shoved me back into the seat. I stared in shock when I saw who did shove me back into the seat. My very own best friend, Micah.

I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion and at the same time everything went blurry. Was this a prank? But why would Micah be betraying me like that?!

"Hushhhh omega. Just go to sleep!" She said with an annoyed tone and that was the last thing I heard.
